Beyond the Mind's Eye (1993)




Synopsis: Um….it’s 45 minutes of dated computer imagery accompanied by bad early-1990s synth-pop. 
Blurb From the VHS Jacket: “BEYOND is a surreal voyage bridging the gap between reality and imagination.” 
What Did I Learn?: Look within your dreams! They can take you beyond the mind’s eye! 
Really?: See: “Synopsis.” 
Rating: It’s a bit difficult to review Beyond the Mind’s Eye, considering there’s no story, no characters, and only two lines of dialogue - one of which you’ll find in the “What Did I Learn?” section. Some of the film’s 11 animated vignettes are still quite visually stunning, but the CGI effects that wowed audiences in 1993 are a little crude by 2020 standards. For me though, the biggest disappointment is the  irritating soundtrack from Jan Hammer, the man who gave Miami Vice its amazing and distinctive musical score. I guess Hammer did his best work in the 1980s. Meh. 6/10 stars.
